The Ballad Of Go-go Brown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If that's why they call him go-go brown
He'd say (? )
If that's why some people put him down
He'd say it costs his name as go-go brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this go-go king
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
Go-go brown is the smartest guy by far
A brand new girlfriend and a brand new car
The girls all thought that he was heaven-sent
'one day this boy will be a president'
All the church bells ring
When that go-go used to sing
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
Here the people say
'he's gonna be someone someday'
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
Then one day some bad men came to call
And go-go knew it's time to take a fall
He's been smoking since the age of ten
He took some crack, he sold some smack
And now he's in the pen
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
All the boys would sing
We're gonna make this go-go king
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
He raised them all
Yes he do
He faced the wall
Yes he did
He stood tall
Yes he do
Who did he let down
Just one man that's go-go brown (? )
All the church bells ring
When that go-go used to sing
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
Here the people say
'he's gonna be someone someday'
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
All the boys would sing
We're gonna make that go-go king
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
All the girls in town
Used to follow him around
Go-go brown
Go-go brown
